Howland tidbits
UCLA coach Ben Howland met with the media today, and said guard Malcolm Lee's knee "seemed to be doing good" after his 30 minute individual workout Tuesday. However, Howland said Lee was "really winded."
Lee availability for Sunday's game at USC is to be determined.
A few other things Howland said: UCLA needed to rebound better, which begins with boxing out and also with more emphasis put on it. Rebounding is still a "major, major" issue for UCLA, Howland said.
The Bruins were off Monday and Tuesday, but Monday was a long day because of travel issues. UCLA's trip home was delayed because of snow in Seattle (the team went out of Eugene and through Seattle), and Howland said he did not get to his home until 3 a.m.
*This post was edited to read UCLA originally flew out of Eugene, which I know, since I saw the team that airport.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
Why is it that Dohn flew out of Eugene but the players had to go to Portland, then hit Seattle? That is the most ridiculous itinerary I've ever heard of. Manny Ramirez should go beat down whichever traveling secretary arranged this!
